The Picayune tells of the arrival of
Il distinguished linguist in New Or

Mr.. p. Paparhigopaulas, Persian
scholar now In this city, Is probably
one of the most remarkable linguists
in the United States. President John
son, of the Tulane University, informs
us that he has been fully tested by the
faculty of that institution, and has been
found proficient in French, German
and other modern languages, in Latin,
and in both ancient and modern Greek.
But Mr.. Paparhigopaulas knows nearly
all of the widely spoken languages Of
Asia as we'll as Of Europe. He claims
IA knowledge Of Sanscrit, Zend, Per-
sian, Turkish, Arabian and Hindo-
stance, and President johnson has been
50 much Impressed with his attain
ments that ne pronounces him ga poly

Strong ought to employ this accom-

Saxon does not give sufficient scope

4 TOUCH OF NATURE

When first the delicate crocus thrust its nose
Up through the driftings of betated snow,
When folded green things in dim woods
unclose
Their crinkl led spears, sudden tremor goes
Into my VEINS and makes mo kith and kin
To every wild-born thing that thrills and
blows.
Seated beside this blazing sea coal fire,
Here in the city's ceaseless roar and din,
Far from the brambly paths used to know
Far from the gnrgling brooks that slip
and shine,
share the tremulous sense OF bud and
brier
And inarticulste odors of the vine.

of us we have the warm southerly
winds, the northward-s sailing cumulus
clouds, the fair weather with it's vel
low moon and red sunsets, followed,
as the storm passes our meridian, by
cooler westerly winds and a contin-
uation of fair weather. We escape
the winter side of the storm. If it
comes up from the southwest and moves
about as represented on The diagram We
will experience the weather conditions
of both it's front and rear portions.
If it comes up from the southeast and
moves along the Atlantic coast we will
have only its winter side. If we have a
southeasterly wind and the usual premo-
nitions of an approaching storm we may
know by watching the wind whether the
centre of that storm is coming directly
toward US or whether it will pass by
north or south of our locality.
Should the wind continue from
the southeast the storm will pass over
US. Should the wind change to north
east and north, the storm center is pass
ing by south of us and we will suffer
raw, disagreeable weather with rain or
snow and some days of low temperature.
But should the wind change to the south
and west, the storm is moving by north
of us and we will feel only the southern
edge of it. A study of the diagram with
reference to any particular section or
locality will make this very clear.
Storm tracks across this continent lie
along higher or lower parallels according
to the season of the year. In winter and
early spring storm centres move along
lower attitudes, the lower the colder our
winter, because the cold northerly air in
rear of storms preponderates. In sum-
mer and autumn they generally keep
we'll in the north, and the further north
the warmer our summer and longer our
autumn, because the warm southerly
air preponderates. We see on the
diagram that the surface air within
influential distance of circling storm is
drawn toward and around the centre of
the storm. 1t is mistaken popular no.
ton that storm comes from the east
because the wind blows from that quar-
ter. Easterly winds generally indicate
the approach of a storm from some
westerly point.
In the southeastern quadrant of
cyclone, or storm, generally occurs the
collision of fierce currents resulting in
the tornado. S. s. BAssLER.

ally sweeping away the preposterous
claims of weather prophetic power, the
recognition of which has not been COM
plimentary to the general intelligence of
the age.
AS every one knows, the conditions of
the weather most important to human
interests are temperature, wind and rain.
These conditions are associated with the
passage of storms, and as they are bound
up with the varying weight of the at
mosphere, the barometer, which indi-
Gates the weight or pressure of the air,
furnishes the key to the weather changes.
Weather maps representing a consid-
cradle part of the earth's surface, as the
United States and the adjacent portions
of the British possessions, show two
distinct systems of atmospheric pressure,
the forms and positions of which change
from day to day. The data necessary
for the construction of the weather
map being properly placed upon map
of the country, concentric lines con-
Meeting places where the barometers
read alike can be traced inclosing these
systems. In one the lines will be
found to inclose pressures success
lively less until in about the centre
of the system the least pressure
is located. In the other the
lines will inclose pressures successfully
greater until in about the centre of the
system the greatest pressure is located.
The former system is known as an "area
of low barometer" or cyclone, and the
